XVI. Yellow Pear of Bambriech. 

 Leaves longish, acute, pubescent, not 

 serrated. Tree when old has a ske- 

 leton appearance ; it seems to have 

 outlived its time. Fruit ripens irregu- 

 larly in the end of September ; bears 

 moderately on young trees ; taste sweet- 

 ish, flesh rather tough ; does not keep ; 

 colour, beautiful red and yellow. 



XVII. Pease Meal Pock. A Pear 

 that rots on the tree in September ; 

 it has not one redeeming quality to 

 justify me in giving the trouble to 

 read the description. 



XVIII. Yellow or Genuine Benvie. 

 A general favourite. Leaves rather 

 egg-shaped, smooth, slightly serrated ; 

 footstalks long, slender. Tree very 

 tall, slender ; branches erect, but pen- 

 dulous on old trees. Fruit ripe in 

 September ; a fair bearer, and an ex- 

 cellent table Pear ; keeps a few weeks ; 

 colour, light yellow when ripe.
